“To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.”- Anatole France

I am going to do my best to post daily quotes of inspiration and motivation. I think it helps people to think about what they need to set forth for the day, week, or any time of the near future and reflect on themselves.

When I was looking for books of motivation, it is amazing on how many religious books and theological books were around and less neutral about overall well-being. I think this quote was perfect for me this week as I have been preparing to open my new office. I have purchased furniture, have been working on making the office cozy and comfortable, and getting all of the details in order for a running business. Now, it’s time to connect with others to network and spread the word for the services I provide.

In order to have great things, you need to plan, you need to reach for your goals, don’t sell yourself short and finish what you set out to do. What do you dream about? What are you preparing for yourself? How can you dream bigger but have realistic goals for yourself?

I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida for awhile now, however I relocated to Pennsylvania and my licensure has been a difficult process. I had reciprocity in Pennsylvania, with my license, and sent all of my documents but it seemed that I frequently needed to have other things completed for the full process. I’m not putting the blame on me, on Florida, or on Pennsylvania, but it was an undertaking that I wasn’t expecting to take so long. I think as a therapist, we don’t discuss our feelings openly but I am a person with real emotions and feelings. This was a difficult emotional struggle as I felt like things were out of my hands, out of my control, and a constant frustration. I’m happy to say, my frustrations have come to an end, I finally received my license and it’s a relief that I can move forward and open my own practice. I am officially a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania.
